To The Elderly...
If anyone knows me well, they will
know that I have scoliosis or in laymons terms, a curvature in the
spine that pinches nerves and causes pain and other symptoms to occur.
This is a very painful and annoying disability. I wish I could get rid
of it quicker but I am on the road to recovery.
However,
in this world the older generations love to pick and nip at you. Yes I
understand that the young ones love to complain about things that happen
in this world and although I may be one of them, I do not find it all
too funny when I get a pinch in my back and some grandma has to walk up
to me say, "Wait till you get our age."
Ma'am I am
not amused by your little humorous moment of how you are so much older
than us. I feel like I am 80. I had to take four days off of work due to
my back going out and the inability get up from laying on my back. I
was literally crying as I felt my self the inability to get up and go to
work. I had just come back from an adjustment and this is what I get. I
was helpless. I had to crawl. I felt like that damn lady from the
commercial, "Help I am falling and I can't get up!" It feels so damn
wrong that I at the age of 23 have to feel this way. I don't get all to
bad anymore but I do feel bad a lot of times. It can be hard to walk and
hard to stand. Sometimes even sitting hurts. and when I say hurts I
mean to the point of no return. I can only damn it all imagine what it
will be like at 50. I will kill myself if I am worse. I am not just a
young one crying about life. I am a young one feeling the equivalent to
the broken old man in a possible wheel chair. No words can describe the
pain that I went through that day. I feel you all who go through the
same pain no matter the injury. So, yeah, bitch please!
Though
I do have to put myself on the spot light for a bit and say I do the
same damn thing to kids. I know we all do it. Something happens and the
kid starts crying and we get pissed. "Wait till you get to college" kind
of moment. Kids no nothing of what is happening. They are new to the
experience. I don't know the circumstances so I guess I just need to
follow my own piece of advice and not judge. Making that comparison that
in the elderly's eyes we are just babies is definitely a big sign of
maturity. So I, in return will not judge kids... so damn it old
people....
Quit Judging Me!
